End Violence In the Gaza Strip

End Violence In the Gaza Strip

Conflict between Israel and Palestine

The major fighting started with the Israeli Declaration of Independence

The United States supported this declaration so you could argue that they are partially at fault for the continual violence

they are fighting for a piece of land roughly the size of Atlanta

over 70% of the bombing hit civilians

over 4,000 civilian homes have been destroyed

over 6,000 Palestinians have died

over 1,000 Israelis have died

Both Countries are at fault for the violence and could face potential war crimes for their military actions

The United States was able to reopen negotiations between the two nations in 2013 and 2014 and began to bring peace to the region until theses talks were ended when one Palestinian and three Israeli teenagers were kidnapped and killed
